  • We only use the door sensors in the house and motion in the garage so can't say wether a cat triggers a motion sensor.

  • Sorry for so many questions, but the break in we had last year was violent to say the least and I am still mental recovering from it...

    I will give the company a bell this week to get advice, but do you think with a CCTV watching over the front yard / front door, a door sensor by the front door and garden door is enough? Come to think of it, I don't really see the point in motion sensors or indoor cameras... I am intersted in what my cat is up to during the day, but I am not THAT interested... and what exacty is the point of motion sensors if they outdoor CCTV will either capture or not capture the faces of the intruders?

    We are only taking about a small 1 bedroom flat...

  • In a similar situation, I think I would want indoor CCTV- if you can link a light up to a motion sensor, you could end up with far better pictures of any nighttime intruders. Accompanied by a really bloody loud alarm; make their life hard.

  • No problem, for my setup the CCTV is used for evidence/identification over deterrent, fingers crossed I never need to use it. Motion sensors have their benefits, for example if said burglar came through the window instead of the doors. IMO the biggest benefit of the Y-Cam alarm is the app notification, but I'm a big believer in the internet of things.

    They have a 14 days cooling off period where you can return everything if you're not happy.
